Free spaces for those battling global crisis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are pleased to announce that we are offering our services for free to any organisations currently battling the global pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governmental bodies, health organisations and charities are all attempting to mobilise and expand their operations. One stumbling block has been access to empty and available space for storage, accommodation and logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a huge network of landlords and venues in many major cities across the world, Storefront is uniquely placed to help those organisations find empty buildings in relevant areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As the global crisis has escalated we have been racking our brains as to how we could potentially help.<\/em>“<\/p>Mohamed Haouache, Storefront CEO
